Hey there, I see you're trying to set up your new gaming PC and facing some performance hiccups. It sounds like the bottleneck might be coming from somewhere specific, especially with COD causing such low FPS swings. Your specs look solid overall, but let's check a few things: RAM and storage are in good range, and your GPU is decent for the RTX 2080. The PSU seems capable too. The main concern could be the CPU or even the graphics card under load. Have you tried updating drivers or checking for any recent changes that might affect performance? Also, ensure your cooling system is functioning properly—sometimes fans aren’t enough during intense gaming. If you share more details about your build and recent upgrades, I can help pinpoint the issue further. Good luck, and don’t lose too much patience!
It could be due to the high resolution you're using—playing at 4K might strain performance. Adjust your settings if needed. The RTX 2080 is great for 4K gaming, but some heavy apps may drop FPS. Clearing the CMOS might help, though I'm not sure why. A 75Hz monitor with an RTX 2080 works, but it's still a bit tricky.
You're planning to replace your current 1080p monitor with a higher resolution one in a couple of weeks. You'll be using it as a secondary display when upgrading to a 144Hz or higher refresh rate setup. Keep an eye on the game's settings to see what resolution it's currently running on.
I confirmed the resolution was 4K and adjusted it roughly in the middle. The game feels much smoother now, with double the FPS. There was a brief drop to 24 FPS, possibly linked to the game's activation code. Regarding your question about upgrading to a 4K display, make sure your system meets the necessary specifications and consider checking for any driver updates or performance tweaks.
Opt for a stronger CPU, but hold off on buying the Ryzen 4000 line right now. Keep an eye on the desktop chips from the RYZEN 4000 series; they’re decent. The R5 3600 is okay but could have a minor bottleneck. If you can afford it, consider getting an RTX 3000 series card when it comes out. An RTX 2080 will handle 1440p at 144Hz smoothly—avoid 1080p.
